Love these pedals

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2023

I use these with the five ten shoes and they are so sticky! There’s a little arch in the middle, not enough to be noticiable when riding but enough that when you put your foot down it holds it in place. I love these pedals and they are fairly priced. I’ve had several pedal strikes and no issues with cracking or breaking but I did buy extra pins just in case.

Poor quality. Only one bearing. Not sealed from dirt

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2024

I would not recommend buying this at all. Any pedal strike will cause bolts to be ripped out from plastic and you can't replace them. Just after one ride in wet weather pedal start to squeak. I've disassembled them just to find out that there was no grease on the inside also the side closest to the crank is not sealed and doesn't have a bearing that's where water intrusion is happening. Put a little bit more money and buy proper aluminum pedals.

Incredible grip. Nice big size. Pretty light. So far strong enough for my 210 lb butt.

I had been using low cost flat pedals, both metal and plastic, on my Mountain Bike for a few years. I read a review of the One-up pedals that said how much better built they were than others at the similar price point. Since I have a One-Up Handlebar on my bike which is light, strong, and comfortable, I decided to upgrade to these pedals. The earlier reviewer was right. These are light and strong, spin well, and hold up to abuse. Due to the smart design, servicing them after hard use is simple and brings them back to like-new in terms of performance. Also Orange!

Good pedals and a fair price

Use these for an Enduro E-MTB. Great grip - especially in steep sections. Nice large platform for bigger feet.

W.O.W.
I've tried a few flats - Neutron clones, Chesters, Deity T-Mac clones - but really nothing compares to these.
- I was a fan of grub screws and didn't really like the grip on Chesters with the 3mm pins. These solve it with 10, 3mm pins/side. Amazing grip. Mind=changed.
- I was a fan of aluminum pedals for durability and cost. These glide off rocks and are 1/3 the cost of comparable aluminum pedals. Mind=changed again.
- I'm old and I need grip on technical downhills, but there's always this "are you REALLY locked in on these pedals right before you hit that STEEP drop?" feeling right before you commit. With these? Lawd, I'm STUCK ON THE PEDALS. Mind=Changed yet again.
What do I like?
1. They glide off rocks. Took a HUGE hit last weekend on a technical trail - hard enough I thought the pedal would crack. I didn't even bend the pins. My aluminum pedals kind of "stick" when I hit a rock. These "pop" or "glide", kind of hard to explain unless you've done it.
2. They have incredible grip. Way better than grub screws with FiveTen Freeriders, and far better than comparable 3mm pin pedals. Lots of pins. Although the pedal is nylon, it is stiff.
3. They have a huge platform. The last set of pedals required me to be "just right" when putting my foot down. On these, it is impossible to miss the pedal. Great confidence on any kind of trail.
4. They are truly flat (almost convex). I originally favored "concave" pedals, where the ball of the foot found a pocket in the slight curve of the pedal. As I got more comfortable I realized that this just locked my foot into one position on the pedal. With these "flatter" flats I can put the ball of my foot further forward of the axle, which is better power. I can feel it on steep descents, steep climbs, and jumps.
What don't I like?
Hmmm. . . the packaging is utilitarian.

Price. I dare you to find a better price to performance ratio than these.
Color. Green. It's not easy being green. Unless you are these pedals.

Just get them.

Initial thoughts

Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2021

Color: BlueVerified Purchase

Well, it happens, I'm getting older. Decided to move away from being clipped in on the mountain bike. Too many near misses in technical areas. Thinking about my riding led me to ordering this platform pedal as an experiment.

I've given the pedal an initial 4-star review across the rating options. Until I can get some meaningful trail time I really won't know about my perception of functionality or durability.

My initial thoughts.

(1) This platform is HUGE! Compare to my Shimano double sided clip in pedal it is ginormous. Even with size 11 feet, I'll have a hard time not finding the pedals!

(2) The pedals do not spin easily. I took them apart. There is only one bearing assembly. It is on the far side of the spindle away from the crankarm and it does not appear removeable for servicing. The portion that spins near the crankarm appears to maybe be a ceramic or plastic type sleeve??? All you have is two circular pieces spinning with a layer of grease in-between.

The grease is very, very thick. I wiped it all off and put on some lighter grade Shimano Dura-Ace grease. The pedals spin much easier.

Based on my disassembly/re-assembly efforts. Routine servicing will be exceptionally easy.

(3) Installation; one can use an 8mm hex key or a standard pedal wrench.

I have not put time in on the trail, just a quick spin on the local roads as a test, but the grip/traction is definitely solid. I'm using some vibram bottomed Lake mountain bike shoes. Studs really dig into those soles.

Will be interesting to see how the durability goes as I've seen mixed reviews. The plastic body does seem a bit flimsy.

The best composite pedals out there

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2023

Love the red color, the spikes are solid and plenty of grip. They take a beating and keep going. Why go with aluminum when these are lighter, just as strong, and sealed bearings
Can't beat the price either.

Have some of their metal ones that are great, these are a great cheaper option though.

Great flat pedal!

Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2024

Color: BlueVerified Purchase

I wanted a larger platform than the Race Face Chesters that I had on my mountain unicycle previously. I "jump mount" onto my unicycles and the larger pedal makes it easier for my feet to land on them. The larger platform also reduces the amount of squirming I have to do with my feet to get into the right position while riding (if you ride a unicycle, you'll know what I'm talking about). I've had the pedals for over a year now and they've held up very well.
